The lake was still, only disturbed by a gust of wind so much like a breath of air that one would have needed the eyes of a hawk and the senses of a butterfly to have noticed it.
But the looming shape beneath the water did.
Slowly, tantalisingly, a ripple appeared in the center of the body of water. It spread outwards, becoming larger and larger until it hit the banks of the lake and faded into nonexistance. There was a slight pause, then another ripple followed. And another. And another. And another, until the tranquil surface had been shattered to a storm of waves and crashes as they hit the banks. From the chaos the shape emerged and the noise seemed to still a little, like it was afraid of this dark presence. The silhouette slowly turned it's head to the left, then to the right, and it's eyes gleamed a little as if it was pleased with the disruption it had caused.
The gust of wind blew again, with it the distinct scent of blood .. and the creature was simply gone.
One moment it had been there, amidst the crashings of the waves and the storm it had created; the next it had disappeared beneath the waves in a split second and was gone from any view.
In the distance, there was a soft nicker. A kind, welcoming nicker that symbolised peace and gentleness and harmony with the world.
Then the scream came. A scream of agony and anguish and hate and fear all bundled into a heart-wrenching symphony.
Then there was silence.
The ripples were gone, crashing was gone and the calmness could almost fool one into thinking that a monster had never dwelled in the bleak waters.

why you want him/her, and what you'll use them for:
I personally think that kelpies, while a little scary, are very beautiful and graceful animals. I'm a very keen horseback f=rider and think that anything vaguely horse-related is epic so that might partly explain it, but.. yeah.
Anyway, for one thing, silver's my favourite colour. And when i was browsing through all the Kelpies up for adoption and saw this beautiful one with her long, flowing silver mane and tail all I could think was: yes. So I've decided to go for her!
My signature is looking rather boring at the moment and I need something to brighten it up a little. She'll go in my signature and I'll probably make a lot of art of her: she's worth it!

Could I by chance have until tomorrow? If not I can try to get something up real fast, I just have to be to class soon.

Username:
SpartanAmethyst

Name:
Īla
Pronounced "Aye-la"; it means siren in Telugu.


Height:
14.hh

Gender:
Mare

Theme song:
"Come Away to the Water" by Maroon 5.
I chose this because it kind of ties in to the SWK species, and it also describes her evil, sadistic little tendencies :3


Art:
Will try and get something up <3

Why you want her:
I want this beautiful mare because her grayscale coat really is gorgeous. She looks like she's boat roan and rabicano, and the combination of the markings looks like ripples of light made by moving water. Perfect camouflage :3 I also love the random stocking on her hind leg, and her 'glass eyes' really just complete the look. Plus the skull-like head profile of the species is totally amazing.

What you'll use them for:
She'll be an adored character, and will have a home on my Adopted Family thread. I'm extremely busy, though, but I'll sketch art of her whenever I can. If I ever have time and get the muse, I may join an RP, or if anyone wants to do a 1x1 I can do that too :3
